The Sambhar lake of central Rajasthan, located between Ajmer and Jaipur, is a hypersaline lake. The present study focuses on the mineralogy of the lacustrine sediments of this region. X-ray diffraction patterns of shaflow auger hole samples show a broad pattern of fluctuation in vertical profiles. It is apparent that rock weathering in the catchment area supplies a flux of clastic minerals like quartz, feldspar and mica during the wet period. This is followed by an evaporite sequence of carbonate-sulfate-chloride in dry climate. Thus, an abundance of calcite indicates the beginning of evaporation, while later stages are characterized by the dominance of thenardite and finally of halite.Keywords

Recent field data on hydrothermal ore deposits and experimental data on solution chemistry of minerals and dissolved species have been applied to certain Precambrian ore deposits of India. Parameters of the environment of ore deposition like temperature, fugacity of gases and concentration of dissolved species have been calculated from selected mineral assemblages. Possible lines of future research have been suggested and gaps in the present knowledge pointed out .- Gypsum-Jarosite Incrustation on Limestone: An Unusual Occurrence

The joint planes of massive limestone at Sahasradhara, Dehra Dun have a thin crust containing jarosite with gypsum blades. This occurrence is different from the usual chemical weathering in a ferruginous environment. An evaluation of the chemistry of local river and groundwater suggests that these minerals form by evaporation in dry seasons.- Groundwater Chemistry and Formation of Carbonate Concretions in Alluvial Soils

Gangetic alluvial soils of Uttar Pradesh typically contain carbonate concretions (kankar) of different morphology at various depths. The concretion mineralogy has been correlated with local groundwater chemistry by calculating mineral solubility products from available thermodynamic data. It is concluded that carbonate minerals are precipitated from supersaturated groundwater in pore space leading to formation of concretions.- Ion Exchange Properties of Lateritic Soil from Calicut Kerala

The lateritic soils developed over Precambrian crystalline rocks near Calicut have relatively high Cation Exchange Capacity. At the same time, the soils are highly efficient for phosphate uptake. Both of these properties are traced to the presence of halloysite of intermediate hydration in the soils. Experimental results have been interpreted in terms of the structure of soil minerals.- A Comparative Study of Clay Minerals for Pollution Control
